Hey folks, I was out snapping some shots tonight and got what looks like really bad lens flair on this image.
See the ghost lights nears the glass roof?

So, my questions are: would this have been fixed by a lens hood? Or is this normal for shooting wide open at 28mm for this lens?

Most likely caused by a filter you have on your lens. Sometimes caused by the lens itself with the internal lens elements. I would try removing your filter if you have one on the lens, usually cuts down on the ghosting for me. Trevor~

Hmm, well there wasn't a filter on the lens. I guess this may just be a limitation of the lens. If I had stopped it down, might it have made a difference?

Looks like fog/haze to me.

Edit: No, a lens hood won't help that straight on light. Lens hoods handle flare from the side or from above.

Wait, I was looking at the wrong place, but still a hood isn't going to handle the flare from lights in frame.

Its that lens reflection off the sensor after refraction thing that one of the other threads was talking about last week...
